2 tractor-trailers, 1 dump truck crash in W. Pa.

HARRISVILLE, Pa.—A crash involving two tractor-trailers and a dump truck has closed a rural western Pennsylvania highway for several hours.

State police from Butler say the crash happened about 8:30 a.m. Tuesday on Route 8 near Harrisville, about 45 miles north of Pittsburgh. The road was expected to remain closed until at least 1 p.m.
